It's a simple song for simple feelings
You see the moon and you watch it rise
Across the continent a night bird sings
And someone somewhere hears its cry
Disillusioned, keep your head down
'Cause if you do they'll never know
You'll have no answers to their questions
And they will have to let you go
Disenfranchised revolution
Take away by right what's yours
They make you martyrs of your own cause
But they don't know what cause its for
All deserted stand alerted
They'll love you when you're all alone
You find a red rose in the morning light
But wait the night and find it gone
So hear my words with faith and passion
For what I say to you is true
When you find the one you might become
Remember part of me is you
